Famous Quote
(Originally in German, roughly translated as:)
"The workers build palaces and live in poor huts; they produce everything and maintain the whole state machine, and nevertheless nothing is done for them; they produce all manufactured products, and nevertheless they have to eat little and badly; they are full and always despised, raw and superstitious mass sense of farmhand. Everything that the state does, has alone the tendency to keep these conditions eternally upright. The upper ten thousand rest on the shoulders of the large mass. Is this to last really eternally? Isn't a change our obligation? Are we to put eternally the hands into the lap?"Read more about this topic: August Reinsdorf
